Wireless charging is increasingly the way to go for busy professionals. It's quick, portable, and won't clutter up your desk or countertop with a maze of cables. Still, there are kinks in the Qi technology that drives these chargers.

And apparently, some companies are working out those kinks faster than others. Meet the iPM Wireless Charging Pad.

The fact that you can't charge multiple Qi-enabled devices at the same time has been a persistent issue for wireless chargers, even the ones that are big enough to hold several phones. It looks like iPM has solved that issue with a 2-in-1 charger that can juice up an Apple Watch plus an iPhone or Qi-enabled Android phone at the same time.

It also provides valuable safeguards like surge protection and temp control, delivering power 20% faster than comparable chargers. Best of all, the iPM 2-in-1 is a full 70% off the list price right now.

There's also a 3-in-1 charger from iPM that's perfect for multitaskers or small families. The hub is powered by the same technology, but expands the slim profile to accommodate two smartphones plus an Apple Watch. And yes, it can charge all three simultaneously. At $48.99, the iPM 3-in-1 Fast Wireless Charging Pad is more than 60% off retail.
